END-AMR-Asia Members

Now 20 researchers working actively for AMR studies in environment join from India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Pakistan and Japan. We welcome active researchers who have experience on AMR studies in Asia-Pacific countries. Many events are open to anybody from any countries who have interest in AMR issues in Asia-Pacific regions.
